US President Donald Trump is “supportive” of efforts to improve background checks on gun ownership, the White House says.

According to BBC News, a statement from the White House said he had spoken to Republican Senator John Cornyn about a bipartisan bill he helped introduce.

The 2017 bill sought to improve federal compliance with checks that are processed before someone can buy a gun.

It comes after authorities said the suspect in last week’s school shooting in Florida had bought his gun legally.

Nikolas Cruz, age 19, had been investigated by the authorities for posting disturbing content online.

Student peers of the 17 victims of the attack have called lawmakers to enact gun control reform in wake of the shooting.
